DRAGONFLY DAYS - 15th, 22nd & 29th June - click here for details

Moffat and District Wildlife Club was formed in 1961 by a group of local enthusiasts. Since then the club has gone from strength to strength and membership is steadily increasing.

The club runs Dyke Farm Nature Reserve, on the outskirts of Moffat, where you can find a prodigious variety of wildlife and is well worth a visit. A number of nesting boxes are also maintained in various other locations around the district.

A club Newsletter is published quarterly. This contains full details of all club activities, recent sightings of interest and articles about wildlife. The Newsletter is obtainable from Grieves, Newsagents, High Street, Moffat, for the modest price of £1.00. For those outside the Moffat area, copies can be mailed (p&p extra) - contact Iain for details.


Membership for the year is £10 per individual (£18 for two adults at the same address), free for those under 16 yearsof age, and is open to all, not just "locals". Members meet monthly in Moffat Town Hall during the winter season (September to March inclusive), normally on the second Friday of the month, at 7.30pm to enjoy guest speakers presenting wildlife slide or film shows. Visitors are very welcome at the meetings, entrance fee £2.50 payable at the door (under 16's free). These meetings are completely informal, suited to beginners and experts alike. During the interval tea/coffee is available and there is plenty opportunity to talk with friends and guests. A selection of nestboxes, feeders and bird food is always available for purchase at the meetings.
